To avoid any damage to the cake, proper containerization, security, etc are some of the factors that plays a vital role in deciding the type of packaging that. CPP Boxes has really good in Custom Cake Boxes. They also have good custom boxes.

Cool, thanks for all the tips Stacey, you look like you did a great job with the same one I originally wanted to do so maybe I will give it a go

its on trademe only that I've found. But the gel colours do make the best vibrant colours. Far better than the liquid ones at the supermarket. The seller that I used (occassioncakes) gave me some advice about the cake and colouring and I only used a very small amount of it so I have loads left for future cakes]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:33:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=416398&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#416398 <![CDATA[Oh cake decorating experts! : Is this ivory colour only in the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=416390&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#416390 Author: pepsi

Is this ivory colour only in the gel form you got off trademe or do you know if you can get it in a liquid form?

Use ivory colouring for the face colour. it comes out looking way more like mickey than white.

I used that exact same picture (the top mickey) for my cake. I blew it up to the right size and traced around it for the shape and the placement of the eyes etc.]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:48:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=415772&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#415772 <![CDATA[Oh cake decorating experts! : Wow did you make that?

Pepsi - the same concept as the bottom one and the top one are roughly about right. if you look at the first one... it's all done in blobs. you get the little star nozzle with the icing bags, all you need to do is trace a template of the ears piece you need black, ie print out a pic you like in roughly the right size, cut the black piece from the white in a puzzle kinda way, put the black piece on the cake and use a sharp knife to gently make a small line along the top of the cake so you know where to go.

Then just do the blobs of icing - reallllly quick to do, i did a carebear cake for ayja using this technique and it was super fast. In fact i think it took less than an hour. and instead of doing them in straight rows, use the nextrow you do and put it in the in-between parts so theres no gaps and so on and so on.

The rest is just a plain little nozzle that comes with it, and you just do an outline with the black icing.   It doesn't stain tooo much. If you're worried you could always make a nice choclate icing and it would have the same effect without the crazy blackness.

The blobs are like this...in alternate rows.



GO ON YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!

You could do something like the bottom one,..then get licorice to make the nose and mouth shapes like the first pic,... and you could even get the royal icing that u roll our, and colour it will a little cocoa,..then cut out a shape of the face/cheeks like the first pic, and just place that on top of the choc icing of the rest of the cake.]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:44:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=415368&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#415368 <![CDATA[Oh cake decorating experts! : Thanks for all the comments and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=415269&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#415269 Author: pepsi

Thanks for all the comments and awesome cake photos ladies!! Not sure if I'm keen on the black teeth when I think of photos I may take of her afterwards hehe.. Also had heard of the colour run thing so not sure if I would have a chance to ice it on the day?

I very well may copy your idea in the end MrsMojo cause it looks great and ultimately Alyssa would be happy to see Mickey Mouse no matter how he was on the cake.

I originally did a google image search to find ideas and the face looks kind of skin coloured in most of them but I guess white would be ok... I would love to be able to do something like this..


But mine would probably end up like this which is a little more basic.. she would still know it's Mickey though..

yeah black does tend to stain... also have found that if you make it up thenight before and have it next to other things it can sometimes leach into them and run a bit.

but pretty easy for mickey.. a round cake with 2 smaller round piece for the ears.

Depends with the in between whether you want skin colour or not. from what i remember mickey tends to be black and white anyway doesn't he?]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:44:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=414696&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#414696 <![CDATA[Oh cake decorating experts! : I used these colours: black, ivory,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=414644&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#414644 Author: kebakat

I used these colours: black, ivory, red

The gel colours make the most vibrant colours. I just made butter icing and added teeny bits of gel to get the colours on the cake.

The black makes your tongue blue/green. Some got squished into the carpet and it came out with warm water so it's not bad when it comes to staining.]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:53:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=414644&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#414644 <![CDATA[Oh cake decorating experts! : Hi Pepsi, I made Daniel a mickey...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=414641&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#414641 Author: kebakat

Hey Pepsi.  I did a Mickey Mouse cake this year too but went the lazy route and printed the image and message I wanted onto transparency paper and stuck that on top of the cake. 

Here's how it turned out.

What kind of icing are you using? If it has butter in it, you might just need a touch of red and it will get to a close kind of skin colour?

for the face colour you can just make up the normal icing and dont add colouring.

Yes i made a black batman cake and it did stain teeth.

I was lazy for Bays bday this year and just bought an edible cake image for $12 off TM - its cheap, easy and looks awsome!!!!
There are some neat mickey mouse ones if you want to go that way?

I am a total novice to making nice themed birthday cakes, but I'm going to give it a try for Alyssa's birthday in July. I was just wondering about a couple of things..

For now I am planning on doing a Mickey Mouse cake so I guess black food colouring for the ears, but what colour should I get to make the face colour? It's kind of a skin colour I guess and I don't know if you have to make this up yourself of it they sell it that colour?

Also, when you use fairly dark icing such as black or red, does this tend to stain the teeth or whatever else it touches?]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:17:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18295&PID=414368&title=oh-cake-decorating-experts#414368
